New report on youth homelessness

5th of December 2011

Our 37-year history providing shelter to homeless youth has demonstrated — time and again — that family conflict and abuse are primary factors which force young people to the streets. Our experience is corroborated through a report released today by the DC Alliance for Youth Advocates. Read the report DCAYA_Homeless_Youth_Report_2011.pdf and check out today’s Washington Post article Growing number of D.C. parents under 24 are seeking shelter, report finds by Teresa Tomassoni which quotes SBY’s Daniel Davis, who contributed to this important study.
